Association of visceral adiposity index with new-onset type 2 diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in hypertensive Chinese adults.
2021
Purpose Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a reliable indicator for the distribution and function of adipose tissue in the body. The relation of VAI with new-onset type 2 diabetes and new-onset impaired fasting glucose (IFG) remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the prospective relation of VAI with new-onset type 2 diabetes and new-onset IFG in Chinese hypertensive adults. Methods A total of 14,838 hypertensive adults free of type 2 diabetes at baseline were included from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. The primary outcome was new-onset type 2 diabetes, defined as physician-diagnosed diabetes or use of glucose-lowering drugs during follow-up, or fasting glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L at the exit visit. The secondary outcome was new-onset IFG, defined as fasting glucose Results Over a median of 4.5 years' follow-up, 1612 (10.9%) participants developed type 2 diabetes. When VAI was categorized into quartiles, compared with participants in quartile 1-3 ( 0.05). Conclusion Our study suggested a positive relation of VAI with the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes and new-onset IFG in Chinese hypertensive patients, independent of its components. Level of evidence Level III, a well-designed cohort.
